Are Plants Color Blind?

Question: Under what color lights do plants grow best?

Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that the plants will grow best under clear, or regular light.

Analysis: While doing my experiment I observed that the plants under the red light grew the most. The plants under the red light grew an average of 4 23/24 by the last week, as shown on the chart "Average Throughout Experiment." The plants under the green did
the worst as shown on both charts with an average of 3 1/6 by the last week.

Discovery: In this experiment I learned that if you want your plants to grow tall, then you should grow them under red light. If you want your plants to die, than grow them under a green light. I mainly learned that color does affect plant growth.
